so they only suspended paid duty police from muzik while muzik was closed?!?

Muzik owner Zltako Starkovski tells Exhibition Place board of governors says he is willing to get out of nightclub business

The club has been voluntarily closed for the past five weeks, in order to cooperate fully with police, said Starkovski and plans to reopen Sept, 12 with 10 paid duty officers.

I saw Renata Ford at La Rose plaza. She looks good!

A new poll shows Trump leading Clinton, though it appears to use somewhat sketchy methodology.

On a similar note, I think it's still possible for Doug to win the Conservative party leadership. A long shot but possible. Maybe he'll reunite with Kouvalis? That guy can get anyone elected. How entertaining would that be?

I wonder if there's some bad blood between them two still. I remember a tweet from Kouvalis that said the reason he left City Hall was because of Rob and his substance abuse and the reason he didn't come back was because of Doug.

I could stomach that only if (1) Doug loses and (2) at least one Ford winds up in jail as a result. And it had better not be Kathy.

Harper seems to be using the Ford 'I'm not perfect' gambit.

The Merril campaign.

Yeah, social media has always been such a strong point of anything Ford.

Nice reading of the teleprompter there, Doug

FFS he lost. I don't think bragging about the guy that helped you lose is necessarily good for attracting new business.

The only entity that Doug Ford should thank for the surprisingly high (yet not enough to win) number of votes is Rob Ford.

$5 million budget for TAVIS being cut in half

Toronto’s special crime-fighting task force is reportedly being scaled back.

The Toronto Star reports that the Ministry of Safety and Correctional Services is cutting the $5 million budget for Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy unit (TAVIS) in half, and plans to ultimately axe the program.

TAVIS deploys officers into high-crime neighbourhoods to curb guns and gang activity.

The Star reports the ministry is shifting away from hard-line policing, and putting the focus on prevention instead.

TAVIS was formed in 2005 during Toronto’s infamous “Summer of the Gun,” when 67 per cent of the city’s 78 homicides were gun-related.

wonder how robbie will feel since...

A fatal shooting inside the Eaton Centre food court, followed soon after by the worst mass shooting in the city’s history, at a Scarborough barbecue, again heightens fear about gun violence. Responding to then-mayor Rob Ford’s demands for more policing resources, former premier Dalton McGuinty guarantees funding of $5 million a year for TAVIS on a newly “permanent” basis.

and... for those that would like to easily compare this year's gun violence to 2012...
